Ingredients

For The Pudding

50 g caster sugar (+ 1tbsp extra)

3 tbsp cocoa powder

2 tbsp cornflour

450 ml whole milk

1 egg

80 g dark chocolate

1 knob butter

1 tsp vanilla extract

150 g fresh raspberries

For The Meringue

200 ml water

200 g caster sugar

4 egg whites

To Serve

1 handful freeze dried raspberries

1 tsp edible glitter

Step 1

Make The Chocolate Pudding

Whisk the sugar, cocoa, corn flour and milk in a saucepan until combined and heat until almost boiling.
Crack the egg into a bowl and throw in the remaining tablespoon of sugar.
Pour about a quarter of the milk into the egg very slowly, continually whisking, then return the egg mixture to the pan with the rest of the milk.
Continue to heat the mixture until just boiling, then remove from the heat and stir in the chocolate, butter and vanilla.

Step 2

Add Raspberries And Freeze

Mash up the raspberries a little bit to break them up and fold them through the chocolate pudding.
Pour the mixture into popsicle moulds and set in the freezer for a few hours or overnight.

Step 3

Make The Meringue

Heat the sugar and the water in a small pan until it reaches 120ºC. Whisk the meringue egg whites to soft peaks in a mixer, then slowly pour the sugar syrup into the mixer. Continue to whisk for 5-10 minutes until the meringue mixture is cool, stiff and glossy. Serve it fresh.

Step 4

Toast And Serve

Remove the popsicles from the mould and coat them in the meringue just before you serve. Use a blowtorch to toast the marshmallow.
If you want to be extra awesome throw some freeze dried raspberry over the toasted meringue.
If you want to be SERIOUSLY fancy throw a little glitter over the toasted meringue. Wow.
Serve it, quick!
